Web Surface Danger Zone (SDZ)

Designed as a planning tool for Range Safety Officers and unit commanders planning training exercises.

Stand-alone Intranet application

Allows user to create SDZs for all weapons and munitions as defined in ARSMMs



Web Surface Danger Zone (SDZ)

Assist the user in determining if an SDZ for a given weapon system and associated munitions for a training event will fit on an allocated terrain

The tool allows users to develop, store, modify, analyze, and print standard Surface Danger Zones IAW DA PAM 385-63/MCO 3570.1B

Capable of orienting an SDZ

WDZ DEFINITION

The Weapons Danger Zone (WDZ) encompasses the ground and airspace for lateral and vertical containment of projectiles, fragments, debris, and components resulting from the firing, launching, and/or detonation of aviation delivered ordnance. This three-dimensional zone accounts for weapon accuracy, failures, ricochets, and broaches/ porpoising of a specific weapon/munition type delivered by a specific aircraft type. WDZs represent the minimum safety requirements designed for aviation weapons training on DOD ranges.



Weapon Danger Zone Area

A specific area drawn about a target based on weapon containment within that area:- Containment is selectable:

- 99.99% (1 in 1:10,000 probability)- 99.999% (1 in 1:100,000 probability)- 99.9999% (1 in 1:1,000,000 probability)

RMTK LIMITATIONS

Tools support published applicable documents (i.e. DA PAM 385-63, TC 25-8)

Tools produce technically correct output based on user input, incorrect user input will result in incorrect results

All RMTK output must be validated by the proper approving authority
